Project Controls Cost Specialist

As a member of the Project Controls team, you will be responsible for performing cost analysis, forecasting, change control, and reporting for projects budgeted in the tens of millions annually. You’ll work closely with a small team of analysts and schedulers, reporting to a senior Project Controls Lead.

Key Responsibilities:

Analyze and compare monthly actuals to baseline budgets to identify variances

Monitor and maintain alignment between project plans and fiscal budgets

Develop and distribute periodic project controls analytics and reports

Support data validation and analysis across multiple systems and databases

Archive project controls documentation in accordance with team standards

Qualifications:

Working knowledge of budgets, labor charges, overhead, amortization, and cost allocations

Strong analytical and problem-solving skills

Technical proficiency in handling large datasets from multiple sources

Experience in a PMO or project controls environment is a plus

Exposure to energy or utility projects is a bonus

While scheduling experience is helpful, this is a cost control–focused role and does not require project scheduling
